I've just seen blog entry by EvilSky and saw that there is a lot of ppl trying to quit smoking. Well, there is an alternative and I'm not surprised many of you haven't even heard of it and governments are trying to ban it already as well as there is nothing on tv about it. There is a reason for it I suppose.
Electronic cigarette - WTF is that you might think.
Well, check out this video:
Quick intro: It simulates the functions of a cigarette without the harmful chemicals by substituting tobacco for cigarette with liquid flavoured nicotine which vapourises into steam (simulates smoke). It's just brilliant. no odours, dicoloured teeth etc. You can use it anywhere
because there is no smoke. It doesn't stink.

it still has nicotine, which means it still does harm in that way and of course its also addictive.

I mean its better than cigarettes but worse than not smoking at all, which is the best option :d

in low doses it's fine because it stimulates and makes u alert. Anyway the point is if you want than you can gradually reduce the level of nicotine until you no longer need it (that's how nicorette works) and still have the feel of the real cigarette. bye bye tobacco industry imo. Have you ever smoked btw?
Even if you don't want to quit smoking (mostly because you're addicted to the nicotine) then it's x times better to switch to those because you're eliminating all the harmful chemicals and don't have to worry about lung cancer anymore imho

1) why is it called E-cig...
2) how expensive?
3) when it vaporizes, does it affect anybody in the immediate surrounding?

No I havent smoked it, I thought about trying it but I decided I could do better and just quit altogether. I mean obv this is the lesser evil but there is a better option yet which is to not smoke at all.

I chain smoked for 15 years and have quit for over a year now. All I can say is that it was immensely fucking difficult, so errrrrr gl!
Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.

1)electronic cigarette
2) depends on the cigarette, I bought starter pack for 25 pounds. Total cost is way lower than regular cigarettes
3) It doesn't. It's like a steam.
